This article analyses the relationship between the Catholic Church and the African States born as independent institutions after the process of decolonization, which begun in Africa since the 1960s. During this period the Church was shaken by the Second Vatican Council, a revolutionary project resulting from the direct will of pope John XXIII and further developed after his death by Paul V. The Second Vatican Council brought about a new spirit and a new interest towards the relationship with the African continent, as clearly testified by the attention paid to the issue by Paul VI and summarized in the document Africae Terrarum (1967).
A seguito del Concilio Vaticano II la Chiesa cattolica ha guardato con rinnovato interesse l’evoluzione della realtà ecclesiale in Africa. È in particolare durante il pontificato di Paolo VI che ciò si esplicita, come dimostrano la lettera apostolica Africae Terrarum (1967) e lo storico viaggio in Uganda (1969), il primo compiuto da un papa in Africa. Saranno questi due episodi a incidere sullo sviluppo della Chiesa locale, che si troverà ad affrontare le nuove sfide imposte dal mutare dei tempi alle società dei nuovi stati che si erano formati a seguito del processo di decolonizzazione.

Abstract
This article analyses the relationship between the Catholic Church and the African States born as independent institutions after the process of decolonization, which begun in Africa since the 1960s. During this period the Church was shaken by the Second Vatican Council, a revolutionary project resulting from the direct will of pope John XXIII and further developed after his death by Paul V. The Second Vatican Council brought about a new spirit and a new interest towards the relationship with the African continent, as clearly testified by the attention paid to the issue by Paul VI and summarized in the document Africae Terrarum (1967).File | Dimensione | Formato | |
